Hi hdyer, 

 

Thanks for joining us here on the community. What happens when you attempt to void the invoice? Was this bad debt? Are you cash or accrual for your VAT?

Hi @hdyer 

 

You shouldn't really be voiding old invoices - particularly ones that have been Filed for VAT.

IMHO, the Void option shouldn't be so easy to access.  It creates more problems that it solves.

 

Much better to raise a Credit Note & use that to 'pay off' the Invoice.

Alternatively, if marking as Bad Debt, create a Bad Debt journal & use that to 'pay off' the Invoice.
